"This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners and I am the worst of them all."
You know that you are a sinner, correct? In fact it could be argued that each of us is the worst one of them all. The Word tells us that "ALL" have come short of the glory of God, and that would include you! It is of no importance to list all of your sins and then compare them to others because the important fact is that we are all sinners! We are all contaminated and in surgical terms, unsterile. It is true that some have committed more sins against God then others, but in the end we are all the same, in need of a Saviour! The One Truth Today and a most trustworthy saying that everyone should accept, is that Jesus Christ, the Lord God came into this world to save "ALL" sinners from death and that includes you.
Paul confesses his breaking of God's laws and his rebelliousness along with his persecution of the Lord and His followers. Paul had defiled that which was Holy. He was ignorant and filled with unbelief in Jesus Christ. Does that sound like anyone you know? Whatever sin you have committed, no matter how heinous, you can be forgiven by your Saviour and receive His Mercy
if you believe in the redemption of Jesus Christ! You like everyone have broken God's Law.
CALLING ALL SINNERS! Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, to save you!
Paul is being used to show the mercy and forgiveness of the Lord. If he was the foremost of sinners, the Lord still Saved him. This displays the Lord's long suffering and patience and love for His children. The greatest sinner can be an example of the mercy and love of God. That is encouraging to others. This demonstrates that even if you think you are the greatest sinner of all time, you still can be Saved by the Lord. That is the "Good News". That is the reason and the plan for the Lord coming to this earth. God wants to save you. CALLING ALL SINNERS!
